Ed Cash - Joy of the Lord lyrics

[Verse 1] Though the tears may fall, my song will rise My song will rise to You Though my heart may fail, my song will rise My song will rise to You While there's breath in my lungs I will praise You Lord [Verse 2] In the dead of night, I'll lift my eyes I'll lift my eyes to You Though the waters rise, I'll lift my eyes I'll lift my eyes to You While there's hope in this heart I will praise You Lord [Chorus] The joy of the Lord is my strength The joy of the Lord is my strength In the darkness I'll dance In the shadows I'll sing The joy of the Lord is my strength [Verse 3] When I cannot see You with my eyes Let faith arise to You When I cannot feel Your hand in mine Let faith arise to You God of mercy and love I will praise You Lord [Verse 4] How You shine with glory, Lord of light I feel alive with You Your presence now I come alive I am alive with You There is strength when I say I will praise You Lord [Chorus] The joy of the Lord is my strength The joy of the Lord is my strength In the darkness I'll dance In the shadows I'll sing The joy of the Lord is my strength The joy of the Lord is my strength The joy of the Lord is my strength In the darkness I'll dance In the shadows I'll sing The joy of the Lord is my strength [Bridge] When sorrow comes my way You are the shield around me Always you remain My courage in the fight I hear You call my name Jesus, I am coming Walking on Your waves Reaching for Your light [Chorus] The joy of the Lord is my strength The joy of the Lord is my strength In the darkness I'll dance In the shadows I'll sing The joy of the Lord is my strength The joy of the Lord is my strength The joy of the Lord is my strength In the darkness I'll dance In the shadows I'll sing The joy of the Lord is my strength
